Cos Baby Freo

The Verdict

Sitting pretty on Pakenham Street in Fremantle, Cos Baby Freo is dishing out all sorts of healthy (and less healthy) eats to the people of Fremantle. Think hearty breakfast gnocchi, nutritious coconut bircher muesli, hummus toast that will make your taste buds tingle and let's not forget their weekly pancake specials. Past contenders include tiramisu pancakes, sticky date pudding pancakes and lamington pancakes which you need to taste to believe. While they have their standard buttermilk pancakes (which are equally as delicious) on the menu every day of the week, the specials are only available on Saturday and Sunday so you'll have to keep an eye on their Instagram to see what's up this weekend.

If you're more into savoury breakfasts, go for the green pea and quinoa fritters which are so light and fluffy they practically melt in your mouth. Served with a poached egg, tzatziki and a sesame vinaigrette, they will keep you full for hours.

When it comes to drinks, Cos Baby might just be pouring some of the best coffee in Fremantle thanks to their excellent baristas and a little help from the beans which come from Leftfield Coffee Roasters. They also do fresh juices, a legendary chai from Ruby Chai and a deconstructed Nutella hot chocolate that you have to taste to believe.
